I don’t think so. As a fan of movies, it just seemed like a really interesting idea. Let’s just say it’s not a fairytale ending. It’s kind of like a National Lampoon’s movie meets So I Married an Axe Murderer.” The song’s concept, tackling the premise that “he got the girl,” then wonders, “where are they...

But now, we get to see the whole group play it, an...
